  "summary": "Malaysian fresh durians could potentially clear customs in China within three to four hours under a proposed fast-track scheme, according to a statement from Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), China Henan Aviation Group Co Ltd (CHAG), and Tropika Makmur Manufacturing Sdn Bhd (TMM). The \"inspect-on-arrival and release-upon-compliance\" model, under the KUL-CGO Smart Durian Fast Track, aims to expedite the customs clearance process for durians and other time-sensitive agricultural products. The initiative, which is being explored under a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the three parties, involves developing a dedicated corridor and platform to optimise cross-border transportation and cold-chain logistics solutions for Malaysian fresh durians. The two airports, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (CGO), will use the Malaysia Durian and Tropical Fruit Export Centre (MADTEC) as the pilot entity to jointly explore the establishment of the Smart Durian Fast Track.",
